BETRAYAL

By the way, speaking of Jews, I saw two yesterday when I was peeking through the curtains. I felt as though I were gazing at one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It gave me such a funny feeling, as if I’d denounced them to the authorities and was now spying on their misfortune.

Dearest Kitty,

I’m seething with rage, yet I can’t show it.

—Anne Frank, from her diary, 30 January 1943
